CONGRATULATIONS TO PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA and his family. And to the extraordinary race that Senator McCain ran as well as Senator Hillary Clinton.
We are ready for a change.

ROBERT REDFORD was in New York at a dinner for the Sundance Film Institute at Roseland Ballroom. He is incredibly warm and social and down-to-earth and I enjoyed meeting him at the lovely benefit dinner. I look forward to going
to the film festival and maybe I will make it this year. Also attending was the
incredible and beautiful JANE FONDA who told me she will be coming to Broadway, after 46 years, to star in "33 Variations", a play about Beethovan.

And KUDOS to AMY REDFORDYes, the daughter of Robert Redford. She
smiles just like her Father. She has just directed 'THE GUITAR', an amazing movie
just released in New York. Run to see it. It is marvelous. The acting by Saffron
Burrows and cinematography is brilliant. It is an important movie because it is about transformation. Even in 3,500 BC, the Egyptians were very much aware of the
same thing. It is important now for we all have that opportunity to transform
our lives into positive living. www.theguitarthemovie.com

And while you are running, go over to the York Theater Company in St Peters Church
on E.54 Street, Lexington Ave. to see "My Vaudeville Man", a new musical ( this theater only does musicals and musical readings) by Bob Johnston and Jeff Hochhauser.
Based on Jack Donahue's "Letters of a Hoofer to his Ma". They are having a benefit
on Dec 8 at the Players Club ( E.20 & Gramercy Park). For info call 212-935-5824
SUPPORT AMERICAN MUSICALS, after all, we can't let Andrew Llyod Weber write everything.
